Love is not about girl and boy It's not about boy and boy or girl and girl Love is not about gender or whether a person can shove something inside of you and call it love Love is a four letter word more complex than the atoms and protons that make up the universe It's about compassion and the understanding that just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean it's wrong Love is playing hide and seek at the age of 21 Not caring if people find it stupid It is the deep rooted sorrow in the eyes of someone who has lost their beloved Love is holding onto someone's hand afraid to let them go It is the changing of seasons The leaves dancing with the wind and the wind tugging at your hair Love is sharing moments with people you didn't even know existed It is the unconditional sacrifice of parents And the willingness of children to grow up and reciprocate the nurture Yeah Love is laying in bed aching because there is no one beside you It is the realization that life is better spent with companions Growing up is one step closer to the realization of what life really is And although we may never really know At least we have spent it With a little bit of love
